I have an addiction – it’s called Diet Coke. Whit and I calculated it out and we
figured I spend about $350 a year, bare minimum, on my beloved DC.
It is the STAPLE ingredient in the fridge at Girls Trip.
But I figure, it’s an awful big pain running to the store a
couple times a week picking up 12-packs of DC, and Shaun was becoming obstinate
about running to McDonald’s on Saturday mornings when I realized I had run out
and needed my fix (I don’t drink coffee).
What?
So I pooled my Christmas gift money and bought a Sodastream. Thrifty Nana (my mom) has one and so I was able to test it out – worked ok. Seemed easy enough. And the other features were appealing too – the diet syrups are made with Splenda, not aspartame; you aren’t going through aluminum cans or plastic bottles by the truckload – bonus for the environment.

Using Sodastream’s math from their website (you have to
factor in the initial investment cost of my machine being $80, the replacement
CO2 and syrups which are $5), Whit and I figure I’ll spend around $65 on
Sodastream DC (FYI, it’s not a Coca-Cola product, but tastes darn good) per
year. Big savings!
We’re crap at math though, so it could be all wrong and we
just got sold a real bill of goods.
Oh well, making “fizzy water” is super fun for the kids and I’m not
constantly running out of 12-packs of DC, so I’m feeling pretty good about my
Sodastream purchase. Thanks Dad
and Mom Connie!
